Thanks everyone!
In taking a look see inside..I found a burnt part (ouch). On the B5573L board "PA unit", part L720 behind the 144 antenna connector, a coil, is burnt.
I guess the owner didn't tell me everything about his year old, still under warranty rig..
I hope that's all I find..but should I look elswhere?
